Toyland wishes to produce quarterly financial statements, but it takes a physical count of inventory only at year-end. The following historical data were taken from the 2016 and 2017 accounting records:
2016 2017
Net sales $ 158,000 $ 200,000
Cost of goods sold 71,700 82,240
At the end of the first quarter of 2018, Toyland’s ledger had the following account balances:
Sales $ 235,000
Purchases 161,000
Beginning inventory 1/1/2018 64,400
Ending inventory 3/31/2018 96,000
Based on purchases and sales, the Toyland accountant thinks inventory is low.
